Consensus on 156 Berger’s?

[missjordan]

I like Berger bullets and don’t ever see myself switching to anything different. The 156’s performed great on a mule deer buck i shot last year

Anyone have some of their 6.5 PRC loads they want to share with these 156's. I am going to be pushing them out of an 18." Hoping for atleast 2900, but know that might be a challenge @ 18".

I’ll let you know. They will be on the menu for a suppressed 16” barrel soon.

shot a cow elk at 400 yards this morning with the 156 going 2,800 fps at the muzzle. Punched a fist size hole in and out. Took off a chunk of the heart.

I've got the 156's going 2723fps in a 22" Proof 6.5 CM barrel. The savage 110 ultralite has a very long magazine which is allowing me run these at a very long coal. 2.930" if I remember correct.

The data for the 156's success is overwhelming at this point, but I figured I would still add another experience. Shot this aoudad right through top of the shoulder and dumped him. Massive internal bleeding and damage - sorry, didn't get pictures. No exit. Impact velocity 2735 fps.

Keep the data coming! Awesome video also. What cartridge/setup are you shooting? Gun barely budged at the shot.

6.5 PRC in a short action with N565 and Lapua brass. XLR Element, Lone Peak steel split rail, 24” Benchmark carbon, SRS Ti 5 port, NX8 2.5-20 SFP. I prefer hunting suppressed, but it’s extremely tame with the brake.

Sounds like a really nice setup dude. Thank you for sharing! Yeah the SRS muzzle brakes work insanely well.

What speeds are you getting? Muzzle

2950ish. I could probably get another 25-50 fps if I wanted to really step on it. But it shoots great where it’s at.

Thank ya! Yeah I was guessing around that speed. Similar setup I got and was gonna try that bullet on it.
